Product Description
The E4C earphones feature a High-Definition driver with Tune Port technology for an ultra-wide frequency soundstage with brilliant highs and extended bass. As the ideal companion to any portable or home audio source, the E4C incorporates the same precision components used by professional musicians to bring incredibly accurate sound with remarkable isolation. The E3G's in ear design works like an earplug to block background noise naturally. This enables you to listen comfortably at lower volumes, even in loud environments. And unlike bulky headphones utilizing active noise cancellation technology, no artifacts are introduced into your listening experience. Sound isolating earphones are also much smaller and don't require batteries. The soft, flexible sleeves in the Fit Kit gently contour the inside of the ear for a comfortable, secure fit so that the earphones don't fall out while you're exercising. The cable spool inside provides a convenient, tangle-free way to store your earphones. Sensitivity (at 1kHz) - 109 dB SPL/mW Impedance (at 1kHz) - 29 Ohm Cable Length - 1.42m (56 inches) Input Connector - 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) gold-plated stereo plug Unit Weight - 31 gram (1.1 ounces)

 A+ October 13, 2008
Shure headphones are by far the best headphones made. Bose doesnt compare when it comes to headphones. (i have both)
SUre they are a little extra money, but they "Shure" will last forever!
 Lacking in bass, overpriced October 12, 2008
This model is lacking in bass. I certainly agree the accuracy of reproduction on the mid and high end is excellent, but this is ruined by the lack of balance with the lower audio spectrum. I would not recommend for this reason. That said, these may work better with stronger audio sources than portables such as iPod. A $30 dollar pair of Sony buds provide much better audio range and kick in the bass range for portables. Also be aware this model number has been discontinued. Amazon has failed to update their site to reflect this. It is the same ear bud according to Shure, just renamed.

I recently bought these headphones used, and I have to admit that I was a little disappointed. My brother bought some E5s and I tried those out, and was amazed thoroughly. When I put in the E5s, I couldn't hear people talking to me at all. One of my main reasons for these headphones is to deaden outside noise. However, the E4s I got are horrible in comparison. I might need to get a better fitting earpiece or something... Or maybe since they're used they aren't soundproof anymore. Don't get me wrong, the sound is still great, but there is all the outside noise to combine it with.
Better than E2c's, but not by much... September 20, 2008

I have had the E2c's for more than three years and upgraded to the SLC4s. The cord on my E2c's was having static problems so I had to replace them. I loved the E2c's so decided to stay with Shure over Atrio and UE.
One important note here, Ace Digital sent me the SLC4's and not the E4c as was ordered. However, I called Shure and they indicated that there is no difference so not a big issue for me. E series no longer being manufactured so SLC series is being sold.
Overall, I remain impressed with Shure, but not quite sure this model offer a huge improvement over the 2's. I paid $164 (incl. shipping) and I see the 2's can be purchased for around $50 on Amazon.
Compared to the 2's, the sound of the 4'sis "brighter" with higher highs. The bass sound is about the same, but not quite as dull. I notice that I do not have to turn the sound up as much with the 4s. If you like the lower models of Shure, you won't be disappointed with these, but have to admit that I am having a hard time hearing a $100 difference compared to my 2s.
The fit and comfort of the 4s is much improved compared to the 2s aided by the new black foam inserts (if the e2s include the new foam inserts, the difference between the two would be even less.) Shure gives a large number of ear fittings so it may take you some time to figure out which ones work best. Having come from the 2s, I already knew which ones to use. You might want to buy more foam inserts so you have an extra pair or two on hand, but these new black ones are washable. I've washed mine once already and they hold their fit.
CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH, FIT IS CRUCIAL TO GETTING GOOD SOUND!!! I suspect that those that have posted reviews questioning the sound don't have proper fit.
The better fit of the black foam inserts also gives greater noise canceling qualities. Can't hear the outside world as much and thus the overall sound quality is better.
The quality of the cord has been downgraded, not sure why they did this. The thickness of the cord coming from the ear phones is thinner than the cord coming off the jack. On my 2s, the cord was the same heavy thickness from jack to phone. I suspect the thickness of the cord on the 2s is why they lasted so long. Hope this doesn't become an issue for the 4s.
Overall, very satisfied, but might consider 2s or 3s if price is an issue.
Mark from Houston September 16, 2008
Good or bad, what was delivered was a newer replacement version of the E4c-n's. Still very happy with the headphones I received. Was delivered in the time promised. Even though it was not the E4c-n, it was just as good, maybe better. One disapointment is that the newer version did not include a level attenuator as promised. I got the scl-4.
